Red Wing Shoes

[Morose_Penguin]

Well my trusty Red Wings went for their first re-sole today after 6-ish years of wear. Should be picking them up in a few days…

[Morose_Penguin]

They’re back. Not sure about the horrible brown laces, but they were free.

Also took me a while to get over the fact that they’ve been brushed up.

Still, pleased with the outcome (and the fact that the guy decided to knock £10 off the cost).

Doing actual work in my actual work boots today. Weird, right? [emoji23]

These are just steel toed work boots that only get used for dirty jobs. I really love em. Man can they take a beating.

Fresh resole on my 4 year old Iron Rangers.
What do you guys think about this build!?

They look really good @Brock . I often think that RW’s look exponentially better with a well done custom resole. Search up a German cobbler called «schuggott custom shoe repair» on IG he has lots of great pics of his work, most of it on RW’s.

I agree with @neph93 - RWs look better with a decent welt job applied. Similar to their higher end GT boots or the Chelsea’s @Brock asked about earlier

Thanks guys! I agree, but wasn’t sure what other people thought.. I personally dig the thick leather midsole.
@neph I have seen that guys work, he’s pretty awesome, also check out leathersniffers on IG. That’s where I got this idea.

I've been thinking of getting my Rangers resoled, cuz I don't like the cork soles.

Do it! I love the Christy sole!

2947’s got a much needed bath (saddlesoap) and treatment (Bick4 to maintain color) today:

Any of you have experience with sizing on the no.8 last? I kinda like this Rover boot and was curious how it compares to companies like Alden’s tru balance last

Yep. I think all the IRs are #8 and the 2947s above i have are also #8.  I wear an 11.5D in all #8. 12s in the others.

What size do you wear with other brands? I wear an 8.5 in the tru balance last but size 10 sneaker

12s in Allen Edmonds and Luchesse minus the last pr which were 13s. 12.5 in New Balance. 46.5 in Scarpa. and 12s in Keen and Tiva. my footprint measures a 11.5 but i’ve broken my ankles and feet a total of ~12 times and have a freakish high instep

Sent my 875s to red wing to be re-soled, had them back within a week. New laces, leather conditioned and they throw in a tub of the conditioner also. Ready for another 4 years.
